Events Manager, Experiential Marketing
About The Position
The Feed is the largest online marketplace for athletes seeking the best in sports nutrition, fueling strategies, and performance supplements. We partner with the world’s top endurance athletes and brands to deliver trusted products, education, and experiences that help athletes perform at their best. We’re looking for an Events Manager to own both the strategy and hands-on execution of The Feed’s in-person presence across HYROX activations, IRONMAN races, Rock ’n’ Roll run series, tradeshows, and key partnership events. This is a roll-up-your-sleeves role. You’ll be responsible for setting the event vision and objectives—and then executing down to the smallest detail. That includes concepting booth and activation experiences, working directly with fabricators and vendors, coordinating all marketing assets, managing on-site operations, and stepping in to assemble, operate, and break down activations when needed. Plans will change. Trucks will arrive late. Weather will happen. Success in this role requires flexibility, calm problem-solving, and a solution-oriented mindset. You should be equally comfortable presenting a strategic event plan to leadership and taping down carpet on-site to keep an event running smoothly.
